Stupid Question about Updating

I'm a really new at this stuff. This is probably a stupid question but i see so many posts saying update your wii and many posts saying DON'T update your wii if it is modded.

So i just need a straight answer if i can update my wii if it is chipped? It is running 3.3 right now. i don't have homebrew. I just want to get animal crossing to work. I've read so many posts and my mind is a mess lol

that wont help it xD
you MUST update from the disc, it needs IOS 38
if you update from the disc, yeah sure go for it, if you dont play out of region, update all you want, from anything in your region, nothing will make a difference
if you do install Homebrew channel VIA iso, then install IOS 38, block the update on Animal crossing and load it

again if you dont play out of region, and youre updating from animal crossing YOU CAN DO IT PROVIDED IT IS IN REGION!

mm but why so ppl just uses IOSPatcher at 30 in this game?
And well i dont have HB so i guess i cant run wads am i wrong? if i am how can i install the ios? please help me out with this I swear this is the last thing i need to know

just get twilight princess
get the twilight hack
get Homebrew channel
get wad manager
install them

IOSpatcher changes the ios the game looks for to run, so in AC's case 38 becomes 30, if you have 3.3v2 or higher youll get rejected, since its a edited game, also its a short term fix, and later on youll need to do it more and more, and it might not work, in some cases
